'IO ALL WHOM ITVMAY CONCERN:

Beit known that I, ANTONIO .'ROITANZI, M. D., of the city and county ofSan Francisco, State `of California, have invented Y an'Improved Cup for'Eervescing-Drinks; and I do hereby declare the following descriptiona'nd accompanying drawings aresuiicient to enable any person skilled inthelart or science to which it most nearly appertai'ns to make Fand usemy said invention or improvementswithout further inven-4 tion orexperiment. .A

The nature of my invention is to provideva cup to be used foreerveseing-drinlrs, such as Vresults when Seidlitzpowders`are used, andthe object of my invention is to so arrange the. cup that the twopowders are contained in ltwo separate compartments of the vessel,'fromwhich they may he poured ysimultaneously into a spout, where they meet,and eervescence takes place, while it may he drank from the mouth-piece,thus preventing` the gas, resultingr from the-effervescence, fromescaping, and regulating the amount of the solution desired to be taken,as, when suicient has been taken, the remainder may-he allowed to remainin their respective compartments, to be used atanothei` time. i

My invention also relates to a device for more thoroughly mixing andincorporating the fluids when they f hav'e met in the spout, andconsists cfa series of stopsor gates placed in the neck of the spout inany suitable position for arresting the ,How of the mixture.

To'more fully explain myinvention, reference is had to the accompanyingdrawings, and the letters Imarked thereon, forming a part ofthisispecitication, oi' which-e- A Figure 1 is a plan of mycup.

Figure 2 is a plan of my cup with cover removed.

Figure 3 is a view of the gates or stops.

i A is a cup or howl, made ot any suitable material, of the ordinaryoutward construction, having partition or diaphragm, B, passing-thronglrits centre, and dividing it into two equal compartments;Asp'out, C, extends` from the body of the cup, and is so placed that thepartition IB divides the opening leading into the spout C intoI twoparts, so that the solutions from `the two compartments will dowsimultaneously into it.

A series ot'stops or gates, a b e, is placed in the body of the spout C,for the purpose ofarresting the ii'nw of the mixture,V and causing themto' morcifully incorporate. This series of stops or gates may be, aug- Ymenteduwhen it is desired to have .the mixture flow less freely, ordiminished, if desired, otherwise, or they may be entirely removed, inwhich case a less amount of `gas will be generated in thelspout. Y

The spout is furnished with a mouth-piece, I), from which the mixturemay be drank, and a lid or cover, E, may be hinged'to the cup, so astofalldown and cover the spout anda portion of the cup, so as to prevent Y'the mixture from overflowing from too great effervescence4 This lid. isalso useful for increasing. the number Y of or removing the gates. I M II V When the cup is made of glass or other fragile material, the lid maybe permanently fastened to the cup and spout, tho number of gates inthat case being regulated in their manufacture.

The cup may he provided with a handle to render it'c'onvenient, `andlinesmay he made around the innerl circumference of the cup, on cachside` oi' the partition, the lines being at equal height, so as toindicate the` amount of Water to be placed in each compartment, so thatthe two solutions will be exhausted at the same time.

By this constructiomI have a cup from which effervescing or gaseousfluids ot' all kinds, may be drank i without allowing the gas to escape,thus rendering therdrink inellicacious, while the flow and amount of gasdesired may be easily regulated.' i I .v A

Hring thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

In combination with the partition B, the stops or gates a Z1 c, orequivalent device, and the lid or cover E, substantially as andfor thepurpose described.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
